Dead Rising 2 to launch in Australia uncut

Australia’s ratings board, the OFLC, has classified Dead Rising 2 for a release in the country with an MA15 rating. Best news? It’s releasing in the country uncut and unedited: Aussies get a break at last.

The board gave the rating for the game’s “Strong Horror Violence, Blood and Gore, and Sexual References.”

Australia is coming under increased pressure to implement an 18 rating for games; the highest age limit a game can be granted in the country is 15.

Light does appear to be at the end of the tunnel, however. Michael Atkinson, the Australian politician most vocal in his opposition to an 18 rating stepped down in March, to be replaced by John Rau – who supports the idea of introducing a higher limit.
